Saoirse Ronan Shares That She Would Love to Do a Musical

Saoirse Ronan has had a diverse career this far, but now she has revealed that she wants to work on a musical! In an interview with Deadline, Ronan shared that she has been loving the Wicked film adaptation, and is hoping that a musical is in her future.

When asked about a movie genre that she still wants to explore, she responded with “a musical", before sharing, “I can’t stop thinking about Wicked. I love it so much.”

"Maybe an original," she continued. “I would like to do a biopic on someone, but I’m not going to say who it is because I don’t want someone to steal it.” 

While Ronan has never appeared in a musical on stage, she did star as Abigail Williams in the 2016 Broadway revival of The Crucible. She also played  Lady Macbeth in the 2021 West End revival of The Tragedy of Macbeth.
